#2 Reminds me of that show as a kid where the guy would paint a scene from a childrens book while it is being read. The intro sequence had a claymation snake that ate itself by tail until it disappeared I think.
#19 this is a joke, but also like... it shouldn't be? You are designed to be aware of your small community of not much more than 100 people. Global politics and the horrors of modern existence are not supposed to be your concern 24/7. Eg. That hurricane is, I'm sure, extremely sad for all the people it affected, but I live in Australia and can't do much to help from here. Not gonna waste my mental bandwidth on an event that doesn't affect me or anyone I know.
#47 this is true and is made that way on purpose. You can die from anti-anxiety meds, having a serotonin syndrome reaction, though not super common, it happens, but you're unlikely by an order of magnitude to die from any of the second-generation antipsychotics they give you. They typically don't send you home with enough to kill you on purpose, and some antipsychotics Eve come in a month-long-lasting IM form to increase adherence.
#1 is a reference to one of the first majorly popular pieces of feminist fiction literature in the United States called “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Strong strong recommendation for a read
#39 it absolutely is not. By definition a calzone is "pizza dough folded over a filling of cheese and tomatoes, herbs, ham, etc." Poptart dough is definitely not pizza dough, it's a pastry dough (entirely different in both ingredient mix and preparation). Ironically, a Poptart isn't a tart, either, as tarts are pastry with fruit on top. A Poptart is actually a strudel.
#1 horseshit - unfair isn't exactly wrong but I wouldn't say it's right either. It's kinda like level 2 bullshit. Like bullshit with bad intent behind it, intentionally misleading and directed bullshit, which is unfair to whoever is the one saying "horseshit" and possibly others
#44 Literally true. I used them to illustrate symmetry concepts when I talked about crystallography. Good insight. Bet you didn't come here to be accused of something serious.
#9 Admittedly he *did* convince the hero protagonist to use the power that he had to try and do some of the right thing anyway (though without the whole "just interchanging who is on top and who is on the bottom" thing). Similar with Captain Soldier Winter Falcon.
eh, leave em alone. There's plenty of ppl who make caring about one thing their whole thing. Is it really more cringe to be a harry potter fan than a sports fan? or one of those dudes obsessed with Ferraris?
Hey, maybe we can convince them to try something in a different genre. How about something safe, like a sci-fi book about children exploited by a cruel and uncaring war machine?
Don’t know why I want to point this out but killmonger is probably the worst example to use cause he is right to an extent the fucking hero of the movie sides with him when he goes to talk with his ancestors. The methods were the only problem with Wakanda (is that how you spell it god I’m white) actively going out to help the oppressed people of the world even if it isn’t with violence
I am absolutely not joking when I saw the movie and he shows up my first thought was that the main character should have said something like "Whoa, don't hurt him. The guy is showing up with a legal case. We have to get this straightened out according to law and custom. The King is not above the law" ... But of course, it's a Marvel movie, so instead, violence
Yeah, part of my issue is that Killmonger wasn't trying to help _all_ oppressed people. Just blacks. Instead of fighting the class war, his motivation was the race war.
He was right about wakanda being responsible for things that were happening, when they first discovered vibranium it made sense to isolate but the power they had eventually was never used to help anyone but themselves. He was wrong about a ton of things, the hero doesn't agree with him he listens when the mirror is held up. TChallas girlfriend leaves wakanda to help in the right way, killmonger is just angry. He doesn't care about any oppressed people other than black and he has tunnel vision.
He's absolutely a villain, but he's a well written villain who is very close to right. He's an extremist and many extremists have a legitimate complaint and take it so far that eliminating everyone they disagree with becomes their solution. Literally the entire movie is about his views being understood by TChalla, and his methods being absolutely fucking evil. Nakia is very deliberately shown fighting for the same things killmonger is. Does anyone even watch these movies? It's the entire plot
Eh... depends on the version. In most of them it's 'Humans will genocide us so we should genocide them' it's not a one off.
The ones where he says let's make our own country then yes.
It's literally, let's move to an island 'BOOM', Satellite? 'BOOM', Moon? 'BOOM', Asteroid? 'BOOM' Literally another planet? 'You're not going to believe it, but straight to BOOM'

I'm just saying I've seen some very relatable villain origin stories as opposed to relatable hero origin stories

Usually the difference is the villain has no generational wealth to fall back upon.

The Flag smashers were objectively right in Falcon & Winter soldier. That's why the writers made them blow up their own people

HisBubbliness
But their law and custom is violence. They literally fight it out to determine who gets to rule.

The best example is the chick from falcon and winter soldier. Even after her random leap towards violence I still thought she was mostly in the right.
